Is there gona be camping at every event???? And if so is it free??? Id like to come race but a hotel bill every month would get expensive. I think i might try to make it to all but the race at leisure hours. I will be coming from Dayton, Ohio. It looks like a great series .

Yes most, if not all, of the tracks allow camping, the only one I am unsure about is Summit, since they are new to the series this year. And it has always been free. We usually just throw up a tent next to where we are pitting.

And we are still looking into a replacement track for Redline.

Most of the tracks do not supply electricity, but I am quite sure you can plug into someones generator at the track, just bring a cord and power strip.

So fuel tank size does not matter?

We added the mandatory pit stops for the longer mains so that tank size should not be an issue . . . so we will see how it works.

We will have people checking to make sure that each vehicle complies with the pit stops. It should be fair for everyone that way.

are pit stops enforced strictly by number of pit stops or is there a time frame?

We will just be counting the number of pit stops.

The Vehicle drives into pit lane the pitman picks the vehicle up and puts it on the wall. The vehicle doesn't have to be fueled. That is considered one stop.

The track is going to need a lugged tire, I don't run 1/8th but it is a loamy surface. For 1/10th you run Studs, Step Pins, or Bow ties and every once in a while holeshots.
